So here are the two charts you need to win any argument over whether gun laws matter.
1. America, with more guns than any other high income nation, is a wild outlier of gun violence.
2. States with stronger gun laws have much less gun crime.
If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, America would be the safest nation in the world.
But 400,000,000 guns in the hands of civilians coupled with weak gun laws have given us a 25 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation.
It’s the fucking guns.
